Dorm Design on a Dime

Current Students Speak About Decorating

"When I began to decorate my room I had two things in mind; stlye and cost. Picking the theme to your room is
so important, but I also didn't want to spend a whole lot of money because between tuition and so many other things
I already have a lot to pay for. The theme of my room was surprisingly hard to find, and I kind of just ended up
mixing many different ones. My room is somewhat Bohemian themed, with paper lanterns and other little decorations, but I also have
a lot of music posters from concerts that I have gone to. My room really didn't cost that much to decorate. I used a lot of things
that I had lying around, and picture of me and my friends, which I printed off of my computer, make up the bulk of my decorations. I like
my room because it does a very good job of representing who I am." -Megan Wray - University of Florida student

"I wanted to do something bold with my room. I live an off-campus apartment so, in addition to my many posters, lantern lights and my extensive tea bottle
collection, I decided to paint the wall behind my bed pink. My roommates also painted wall in their rooms. After I painted the wall I decided that I wanted to
paint a headboard of flowers. It looks really cool and I am proud of my creativity. Plus, it was way cheaper than acutally buying a head board for my bed." - Lauren Light - University of Florida student
